I wouldn’t go that far but yeah I don’t really have any complaints. The figure meets my expectations and mine doesn’t have the eyes looking up. Guess I got a good one.
Ouch, thanks for taking the hit on this one Matt. As you say though, nice sculpts but the good points are way out balanced with the bad, that cowl gap is just........ seems stingy to not include a stand. BK's quality control were definitely on vacation again!! It is the Mighty-Keaton though, so we can forgive. Good review man.
I knew this had its issues but, I went for it anyway. Never again with Beast Kingdom. I have the Hot Toys version of it coming soon though. I’m sure that will make up for this disappointment.
I just went and cracked mine open that was still sealed in the box. The eyes on mine aren’t painted looking up as badly as yours are. I think you just got one that was badly applied. Personally I would have returned it for a different one. Just bad QC.
Ooof, this figure isn't gonna do much for Beast Kingdom. Are you sure it's not a bootleg? It seems like the issues with the fit of the cowl should've been picked up before this hit the shelves. Great face sculpt but that's not gonna save it. Shame this was such a disappointing experience for you dude.
100% sure it is the real deal. They seem to knock these figures out. If you look at their own promotional pictures then you’ll see the same issues. But it’s the Mighty Keaton Batman. So I will keep him.
It’s a shame that it is the way it is. But as a display piece it’s ok if you ignore the massive gap between the cowl and upper body. I may repurpose the head sculpt for another figure.
I’m pretty sure you purchased a knock off of the Beast Kingdom statue. From what I’ve seen from the prototype pictures, the statue comes with a base and has a flowing sculpted cape.
I’m sure it is a genuine product. Having a look at the Beast Kingdom website, it lists all the correct items that comes with it. A base isn’t on that list unfortunately.
I'm always disappointed with Beast Kingdom brother, I keep saying I won't order anymore of them. May I ask, where did you find the Spin Master Batman 85 stuff? I can't see those figures anywhere in the UK.
I found Beast Kingdom hit and miss. The last couple I got I was happy with. But it feels they are cutting corners now. The Spin Master figures, I don’t think they are available in the UK yet, I picked them up when I was in Singapore.
@@MattandTheRetroRoom Returns is pronounce of their best. Big improvement on their '89. I see their new '89 release looks a lot different though, cheaper too.
I bought the returns and overall i like it alot. Ihad every intention of getting there new/ improved keaton 89..... but .....looking at it more i see all they did was just slap the returns cowl likeness on it....and again...the same accesorys as all the other releases. I said nope...easy pass
I was planning on getting the Returns version. But after this experience, I am done with them. It’s a shame because I do have some genuinely good Beast Kingdom figures (excluding the 89 figure) but it seems they are going in a different direction with quality, the wrong direction.
@@MattandTheRetroRoom , beast kingdom is definately hit or miss... fondjoy has made vast improvements in quality recently, im eyeing the 89 they have comeing out soon. The renders look really good.
i just don't see the issues, i'd argue this is the best keaton figure of all time. i promise.
Yeah, each to their own. It’s just my opinion on it 👍

@@decadentdave the "i promise" should have given away my sarcasm. :)

All Mighty Keaton Batman are equal, as you know. He will make a nice display piece. Just don’t talk about the floating head.
When I saw this figure the first time, I was like: nah... pass. I'm still waiting for a decent one. Hopefully, we will get one.
I knew this had its issues but, I went for it anyway. Never again with Beast Kingdom. I have the Hot Toys version of it coming soon though. I’m sure that will make up for this disappointment.

Yeah I was probably unlucky with my example. Has yours got the same problem with the gap between the head?
So sorry mate you have to buy and review it, so that the entire Keaton Batman fans can avoid this dollar worth of plastic. Big thanks to you!!
Thank you!
Have you done an unboxing for the BK Dark Knight Returns figure, too?
I have the Armoured Batman one from them but not opened it up yet.
Sure have!

That is soooo bad ,nice review , warning us fellow collectors , its the figure gotham wanted but not what they deserved

@@MattandTheRetroRoom I liked the Batman Returns and '89 Joker, I have a few that were not worth the price point though.
I didn’t get the Returns figure. But I really liked their Nicholson Joker. Probably my favourite of their figures to be fair.

@scottowentattoo I did notice that they have made some changes, hopefully for the better.
Man, McFarlane already charges too much for his toys, but this is really crappy!
@@stephanberger3476 I do have an alternative to McFarlane which I will be featuring next Thursday 👍 Hope you agree.
@@MattandTheRetroRoom Can't wait! I'll be honest, I own close to 100 McFarlanes, already :)
I like McFarlane. A very, very good range of figures.

@charlesalexanderjr2247 I’m pleased you brought up Fondjoy. They will be featured in my next video this Thursday 👍
lol mine stands just fine with out a stand.
He stands just fine but, for the cost I did expect one in the box. But that might just be me expecting too much 🤷🏼♂️
man… this is just… lets say bad
@@mar-z6l so disappointed with it!
@@MattandTheRetroRoom i'm sorry but at least you have a lot of other beautiful pieces !
More to come! I have some great figures I haven’t gone through yet. Thought I’d start with the bad one lol.
That’s not a ventilator it’s a communication device!!
I’m not entirely sure which part you are talking about. When did I mention a ventilator?
@@MattandTheRetroRoom wrong review bud. I apologize for the mistake. It was in another review I previously watched. My bad brother!
No worries man, stay awesome 🤘
